The tower, with its robust structure and historical significance, serves as a focal point in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye and anchoring the composition.
In the foreground, Saftleven has included several figures, each engaged in various activities. These figures add a narrative element to the painting, providing a glimpse into the daily lives of the city's inhabitants. The artist's use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensional quality of the scene, creating a sense of depth and realism.
Saftleven's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the way he has rendered the textures of the stone walls, the foliage, and the clothing of the figures. His palette, characterized by earthy tones and subtle contrasts, contributes to the overall harmony of the composition.
"Figures by the city wall of Utrecht with the Bijlhouwertoren to the right" is a testament to Saftleven's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of a specific time and place.
